Voltage Problems in the Caribbean

Hello all,

I am currently living in the West Indies and the power here is horrible. Lights dim, surge protectors click and some of my audio gear just stops working at times when this happens. I have a APC battery back up/line conditioner but I think it is incredibly inadequate. I have a Schiit Bifrost and I cant even use it during peak hours. It just stops playing.

Can some one please recommend a better solution? I was about to press buy now on a PS audio power center but I thought I would get some feed back from the Agon-a-sphere first.

Thanks

Tracy

I ended up getting the PS Audio. I have been running it for 2 months now and I get incoming voltages as low as 103 fairly regular. Sometimes even at 100. I have not observed an outgoing voltage lower than 115. As long as I am getting 106 from the wall the PS will give me 120. The Bifrost works now. I do not get the snaps and pops I use to hear and the music definitely sounds better. Much better. My speakers are pretty sensitive and there use to be a hum. Not loud but if you put your ear to the speaker you could hear the background noise. ItÂ’s gone.

I thought I would share my experience with everyone. Thanks for the input.
